Per què, Mou?
En José Mourinho ha aconseguit que la Lliga, la Copa i la "Xempions" d'aquesta any hagin tingut un ressò més gran que mai gràcies a les rodes de premsa de després del partit, a les seves declaracions provocadores i a les acusacions que ha anat fent. El futbol és tot un espectacle, i Mourinho ha aconseguit allargar aquest espectacle fins i tot fora del camp.Aquest llibret és un recull de moltes de les perles que ha anat deixant l'entrenador, no només aquesta temporada, sinó al llarg de la seva llarga carrera futbolística, una carrera plena d'èxits, però que també ha conegut algunes derrotes, per les quals l'entrenador sempre ha trobat alguna frase enginyosa digna de ser recollida ara en un llibre.
Spanish Horror Film
Spanish Horror Film is the first in-depth exploration of the genre in Spain from the 'horror boom' of the late 1960s and early 1970s to the most recent production in the current renaissance of Spanish genre cinema, through a study of its production, circulation, regulation and consumption. The examination of this rich cinematic tradition is firmly located in relation to broader historical and cultural shifts in recent Spanish history and as an important part of the European horror film tradition and the global culture of psychotronia.
Demystifying Bilingualism
This book analyses changing views on bilingualism in Cognitive Psychology and explores their socio-cultural embeddedness. It offers a new, innovative perspective on the debate on possible cognitive (dis)advantages in bilinguals, arguing that it is biased by popular “language myths”, which often manifest themselves in the form of metaphors. Since its beginnings, Cognitive Psychology has consistently modelled the coexistence between languages in the brain using metaphors of struggle, conflict and competition. However, an ideological shift from nationalist and monolingual ideologies to the celebration of bilingualism under multicultural and neoliberal ideologies in the course of the 20th century fostered opposing interpretations of language coexistence in the brain and its effects on bilinguals at different moments in time. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Cognitive Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Multilingualism and Applied Linguistics, Cognitive and Computational Linguistics, and Critical Metaphor Analysis.
